NIGERIA OH NIGERIA: BY EZEKIEL MOSES


Nigeria oh Nigeria
Mother of Africa
Nigeria oh Nigeria
Where the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening
Giant of Africa
The strength and power of Africa
Mother of all black nations
A land filled with beauty beyond comprehension
Full of great people, culture, traditions, tribes, ethnic groups
Beautiful vegetation and land

Nigeria oh Nigeria
Your children are great in all the land
They excel in all nations of the earth
A land of peace though ravaged by corruption, insecurity
Ethnic crises, poverty, Boko Haram, reveries, political and religious crisis
Yet like a child in distress there is hope in your future

Nigeria oh Nigeria
Mother of Africa
Pride of all nations
Your beauty speaks
Rich in wealth and natural resources
Yet in need
Rich in agriculture, live stock, crude oil, gold
Silver mineral, natural and human resources
Looted by colonial masters
Countless of your children lost in slave trade
Yet in unity
Hmm! You fought and conquered Biafra war
And brought your children back in unity

Nigeria oh Nigeria
Soon your destiny no longer shall be mere dreams or fantasies
Electricity and security your possession
Darkness and corruption a thing of the past
Underdeveloped? No longer shall you be called
Your green passport all shall gladly seek
Then shall all nation of the world come under your shelter
Mother of Africa

Nigeria oh Nigeria
Rich in culture
Vast in land
Land of joy, land of fruitfulness
Symbol of peace, symbol of hope
Surrounded by waters, sign of wealth, joy and peace
Peace keeper art thou been to nations
Like the mother hen protect her children from the invading eagle
Fifty three years and still counting
Yet are your children waxing strong in unity
Like the renewed eagle your strength and beauty grow each day
All hail Nigeria!
My mother land
Land of love, peace, hope and unity
Nigeria my Nigeria
God bless Nigeria!
